I could have been a Seseme Street character

Hey Pupsters -

So there is a story that most of you probably don't know. My name originally was supposed to be GROVER! There were many reasons for it - namely it was close to my uncle GRIGSBY who passed away last year. Additionally, dad had a fraternity brother who had a black Labrador whose name was Grover. Pretty cool eh?

Well, mom wasn't too thrilled about this. She tried Jackson (the name of the town next to us at the ski house) amongst others. However, dad was convinced of Grover.

Then, Easter came around. While at the family country club, Mom was telling dad's grandmother Mimi about the name of Grover. Well, according to the story, Mimi made a sour face equivalent to drinking a glass of sweetarts! Not a good sign for dad, I must say.......

So that was it! No Grover in Charlestown!

Funny thing happened today when dad was reading the local paper today at the ski house. THERE WAS A SPRINGER SPANIEL NAMED GROVER up for adoption! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? WHAT IS UP WITH THIS? IS IT FOR REAL?

Funny how life imitates art...or pups!

Missing in action and the English Patient

Hey Pupsters -
Phew, what a busy week! Dad was in Dallas for the week, so Mom and I held down the fort. On Monday, let's just say I got home from daycare a little late. I was having a blast with all my pup friends and didn't even notice that it was AFTER 7pm. Of course, Mom came home and became quiet distraught that I was MIA! She frantically called Dad (who was on an airplane at the time) and then called Jordan the pup walker (after tracking down his cell phone number). Apparently they let me stay for the full daycare day and I was going to be on the last drop off! At any rate, Jordan got me home, and all was well!

Fast forward to today. Dad came home late last night and I was excited to play with him today. However, I thought something was odd when we were up early and on our way somewhere in the car. Oh, it was my friends at the Massachusetts Medical Center! Hmmmmm....why is dad leaving me here, I wondered.

So, without going into the details, I had my little boy surgery today. All went well - and I didn't even notice a thing. Even better, when dad came to pick me up, I ran right out to him. Dad bought me a couple of new bully sticks and this great new stuffed frog! For those keeping track, I did get to jump on the scale. I am now 36lbs of pure pup.
Now, there was this passing thought about me wearing this lampshade around my neck! I THINK NOT! That thing doesn't exactly make me look puptastic....so I am being good and not licking/chewing my wound.

So, we are up at the ski house. Mom is taking up knitting and is currently working on a scarf. I wonder if it's for me! Dad is off to Salt Lake City this week, and then the Henkels come to visit from England next weekend. We seem to have quite the social calendar these days!

What's up with Eastern Standard Time?

Hi Pupsters -

Greetings from Boston. I am back home watching the Pats (who aren't exactly looking puptastic at the moment!)

We had a great weekend up at the ski house. I went on lots of walks - and chased about 1000 leaves! The wind was pretty strong, so I was having a blast trying to catch them all!

After my walks I was pupped out! Dad wanted some help raking leaves and cleaning the ski house, but as you can see, I decided to take a pup break right by the trash. Come on dad! You expect me to help you clean?!

Dad is off this week on business - so I am getting an extra day at puppy daycare! It should be awesome. I had a nice bath this weekend so I am all ready to get dirty again!

Hope everyone had a good weekend. Oh wait! Why is it 4pm and pitch black out????? YIKES!

PTTPs!

Bring on the Turkeys!

Hey Pupsters -

Today I thought I would try updating my blog from my pupberry! We pups need to keep up with all the latest and greatest technology!

So, what have I been up to? Well, there was that crazy Lobsta costume that my dad made me wear! I told him if I had to be a lobsta he had to dress up like the Gordon Fisherman! That would have been a picture - but no such luck.

At training on Monday, I dressed up in my Red Sox Jersey. Jennifer said anyone who dressed up would get a special treat at class. My buddy Diesel (who is a puggle) had his Florida Gator jersey on - and the two of us got to pick out a special doggie toy from a huge box!

Dad wanted to pick the stuffed Frankenstein, but mom decided to get the turkey. Now, let me tell you about this turkey. This turkey makes the WORST gobble gobble noise. I think dad was swearing about getting another toy that makes noise! However, this gobble gobble scares the PUP out of me every time I push the button. It's not a lovable squeak like all my other toys - but more of a ear shrilling gobble that would wake even the soundest sleeping pups!

Dad has replaced the turkey for the time being with a bully stick (yummy!). I think he is trying to get some work done!

At any rate, looks like a Nor'easter is moving in for the weekend. It seems to rain on every Saturday these days! Looks like more indoor fetch for me!

Hope all the pups have a good weekend.

PTTPs!
